 Urbanfutures.org Abstract: Land Use Around Suburban Transit Stations
Stations were selected outside the major urbanized portions of the region to more accurately assess changes in suburban-land use.
The leading "contributors" to development around transit stations were "oriented toward individual consumers," and included shopping malls, shopping centers, strip centers, mid- and large-scale commercial uses that cater to walk-in customers and local suburban markets.
"The primary contributors to station area development are residential and commercial developers in addition to the transportation providers themselves." (86) The author notes that plans for more dense development (e.g., office towers) and reverse flows of commuters (central city to suburbs) may alter land-use patterns around these stations.
